June S&P 500 E-Mini futures (ESM25) are down -1.18%, and June Nasdaq 100 E-Mini futures (NQM25) are down -1.46% this morning, pointing to a sharply lower open on Wall Street as sentiment took a hit following Israel’s attack on Iran’s nuclear and military facilities.
Israel carried out a broad attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, ballistic-missile sites, and military leadership on Friday. Israel reportedly killed the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and hit dozens of targets in a major escalation that could ignite a wider conflict in the Middle East. The strikes came after Iran announced Thursday that it would soon open a third uranium-enrichment site. The United States said it played no role in the operation.
